Kid with a Camera: An Odd Sighting at the Beach

Kid with a Camera: Licca-chan

I didn't take this picture. Are you relieved by that information? Heh...

Kid with a Camera: Accidental Feet

The feet sold me on this shot.

Kid with a Camera: Dad Rowing a Boat

Taken by my daughter; she preferred it in black and white:

Self-Portrait (Not Mine)

Kid with a Camera: Random Pics

Just some random pics my kid took. I'm pretty busy this week, so I appreciate her lending me a hand...

Kid with a Camera: Pics of Dad with a Hangover

Actually, I can't recall if I was really hungover when these pics were taken (but then I guess I wouldn't, would I?).

Tip for future fathers: Girls are amused by different things than boys. Get used to it. Fast.

Kid with a Camera: Self Portraits

My wife and daughter have gone to the in-laws for the weekend. They even took the dog with them. So, I'm basically just bouncing around the condo looking for something to amuse myself. As I whined last night, I'm pretty much dried-out as far as blog post ideas go, and I've got no pics of my own to post right now. However, I stumbled upon some pictures that my daughter took that I'd completely forgotten about, and thought that it might be fun to post some of them.

Regular readers know (or at least probably sense), of course, that I'm one of those fathers who's put his daughter into a special category usually reserved for divine beings or people who have lived long enough actually to have accomplished something. I will never apologize for that (although I certainly understand if you're less than thrilled with my kid's pics). Don't say you weren't warned.

A couple of nights ago I watched my daughter type "egg" into YouTube's search field and then watch her favorite video (go ahead, do it!). I can't even begin to express what a thrill this was for me. It thrills me that she likes to take pictures. I've done next to nothing by way of editing her pics (generally only setting levels automatically; no cropping, etc.). I've given her photos a rough thematic organization, and I hope that after she sees a few of these posts she'll want to start her own blog. Of course that will require being able to upload files, writing, etc. If she's interested, I can't wait to help her.

Anyway, here are a few pics my daughter took of herself:

I really like that last one. Girls are so... strange...

A Creepy Picture My Daughter Took

At 5 years old my daughter has already joined the ranks of the avant garde. Her technique involves sitting in the dark and pointing the camera to where she thinks something is. She takes the shot, the flash goes off, and then she checks to see what she got. For some reason, this picture creeps me out a bit.

Pictures My 5-Year Old Took

Today I let my daughter assume control of the camera (well, one of them). It's kinda cool the things kids find interesting enough to snap (and I'm way too beat to do any of my own stuff right now!). As always, click to enlarge.









Only a kid would take a picture of a clear sky...
